A Short Break

I just wanted to do a small post to let you know that I will have to step back from commenting/visiting and posting this next few weeks and this is why:

I happen to come home from work yesterday and realized there was a water supply line break in my main floor bathroom which caused a lot of damage to not only that room but my lower level utility room, bathroom, shower, sauna and laundry room.

My hubby and son's happen to be gone on a remote fishing trip to Canada. So therefor, I'm on my own. I have a company here doing the clean up, sanitizing and now demolishing the lower level bathroom and completely removing walls and the sauna.

Okay, seriously...I am in tears! If you remember about 2 yrs ago we were hit with the horrible flooding in our area and did extensive damage to our lower level and now this! Both times, my hubby was on fishing trips in Canada! He is NO longer visiting Canada.....haha! Just kidding...well, maybe not!

So, please don't forget about my little Ol' blog~I will be back real soon! I will try and visit blogs but my commenting will be limited along with crafting for now.

I know this must seem like a nightmare repeating itself, I am so, so sorry! I'm with you - NO more fishing trips! Don't worry about comments or Blog visits, we will all be here when you get all cleaned up. Good luck with all the work that will be going on in your home.

Awe Sherrie, I am so sorry this is happening to you. I know it's not easy dealing with this while your husband is away. I pray everything is taken care of and that you will be as stress free as possible. ~Hugs, Saundra

Oh Sherrie my friend, I'm so sorry to hear this. How devastating for you! I will really miss your amazing creativity every day but I certainly understand. Why does stuff like this happen when the hubs are away enjoying themselves. I'm glad you will let them return to Canada.The weather has been very cold in Florida. Hugs, Jan

Oh no Sherrie, I do remember the flooding you had!! I'm so sorry you have a mess to deal with again!! I'll say some prayers for you as you get this all straightened out. Hang in there, and we'll see you when you get back!!

Oh you poor thing Sherrie!!!! I am so sorry you have to go through this again...and by yourself!!I say for sure no more trips to Canada for the boys...LOL!!!!Take care and I sure hope for a speedy cleanup!!!!

Oh how awful. You have a lot to deal with right now, so don't be worried about bloggy world for now. We'll all be here whenever you get a round tuit. Hope I made you laugh! and I hope things get back to normalcy for you real soon, Sherrie. Have to agree that hubby shouldn't go on any more trips for a while!

Sherrie, this is just awful news. I am so sorry for this and wish I could help you out! If you need anything you have my #. You will probably need a vacation after this, just let me know when LOL! Hang in there friend!Carri~Abusybee

Oh no, Sherrie!! :( This is terrible news!!! So sorry to hear this!! I will keep you in my thoughts & hope it all goes smoothly for you. Can I tell you something odd...? The only 2 times my hubby went fishing in Canada in a really remote area w/no phone, etc... The girls & I had major "catastrophes" here, too..!! I think hubbies should be banned from fishing in Canada. It's just too dangerous for us..!!

Oh Sherrie! I am so sorry to read this!! We had a flood a few years ago - and my husband was gone too. I was so upset and frantic as the water was still coming in. However, in the grand scheme of things, it all turned into a blessing in disguise. That all said, my heart goes out to you, especially as you are handling all this alone. I'm not sure I would go as far as to ban your husband from visiting the AMAZING country of Canada though. ;) That would just be cruel and unusual punishment!!

Sherrie, I am so sorry!! I wish I was there to help you out and give you a hug and some chocolate! chocolate makes everything better! You are always so thoughtful and sweet about commenting on everyones blogs we all understand and wish we could do more for you! Sending love and prayers!

Oh Sherrie, I'm so sorry this has happened to your home!! I guess to you are in tears after having flooding and now this type of flooding ruining parts of your home. I would be in tears too. Then to top it off you hubby is in Canada, gosh how fair is that?! lol But I'm glad that you are getting things handled and hopefully your husband will be back home soon. You take the time you need to handle this mess and we will all be waiting for when you can come back. Good luck and sending prayers your way. Hugs cause I think you really could use one!

Oh Sherrie I am so sorry you are having all these problem! It was bad enough to have to deal with flooding ONCE but to have to go through it again must be agonizing for you! I will pray that it's all taken care of quickly and NEVER happens again! Once hubby gets back home to watch over things, I think you deserve a very long, relaxing trip with your girlfriends!!! Hang in there girl ... I'm thinking and praying for all to be back to normal for you real soon!HUGS from OHIO!

Oh no Sherrie!! I am so sorry to hear about your issues :( And you have every right to say No more fishing trips to Canada!! Wouldn't you know that this would have to happen again when they are out of down :(I am hoping you will be back to normal soon and don't worry, all your fans will be waiting for you when you are ready to return to crafting :) Hopefully all the water did not get to your craft room!!!

Oh Sherrie ~ I am sooooo sorry to hear this!! You worry about what is important right now! I cant even imagine this happening once but twice!!! OH my thoughts and prayers are with you ~ yeah I know its not life threatening but the amount of work that has to be done, the hours of dealing with contractors, insurance companies ~ okay this is NOT helping you or the stress level you must be under!!! Again you worry about what is important! PLEASE!! Also no more fishing trips to Canada or anywhere is ALLOWED if this happen! HUGE HUGS sweet friend!!

Hey Sherrie! I'm sooo sorry about the water damage... it doesn't seem that long ago when you had that problem last time! Hubby CAN NOT go to Canada any more!!! LOL :o) I have stopped by and seen that adorable Elephant Card and treat box and that super cute get well... LOVE that egg with the band aid... Just no time to leave a comment.... :o( but I've been working on the clothing at my store for the past 2 weeks... and I'm soooo tired! I'm almost done with the switch out of Winter clothes to the Spring/Summer collections.... I have to add some more clothes, and work on the shoes next... So I'm hoping this next week I'll get a little more free time... Keeping fingers crossed... :o) I'll post when I can! Try and gave a great week and I hope the clean up isn't too much on you and your wallet! :o)
